Early Days of Winter

Snow clouds in the distance
On a cold, cold winters morn
The air is still and quiet
As the world is slowly born
Brave birds sing in the new day
Being closer to the pulse
Pale light chases the misty grey
But that and little else.
Each breath is cold and burning
Each exhale a frosty puff!
Layered from head to toe
Is never warm enough
The canvas sky is a cobalt blue
The air so crisp and clear
The Gods of Winter slowly rouse
To claim their time of year
By midday the sun is at its peak
Reeling in the earth
Suffusing its runaway child
With warmth from solar hearth
By twilight, winds are howling
And the clouds are painted black
The winter rain is pouring
And unforgiving in attack
Its as cold as rain can get before it
Transforms into snow
The windshear stealing body heat
Adds shivers to our woe
The waning light, one last hurrah
And nightfall settles in
All we know for sure is that
Its colder come next dawn.

There's very little descriptive poetry on this site and when it's as good as this,readers can see just what they are missing.A real treat and an urge to go down the valley with a pad and pencil.

Spike~
Yep you summed up Sydneys cold days, not that Melbourne's weather is any better, lol. So descriptive and very well written. I would love to see your collection of poetry in a book. You've got more than what it takes my dear friend. Well done~
warm hugs,
